Poetry, History, Memory: Wang Jingwei and China in Dark Times by Zhiyi Yang (University of Michigan Press) Price verified 9 hours ago

Wang Jingwei, poet and politician, patriot and traitor, has always been a figure of major academic and popular interest. Until now, his story has never been properly told, let alone critically investigated. The significance of his biography is evident from an ongoing war on cultural memory: modern mainland China prohibits serious academic research on wartime collaboration in general, and on Wang Jingwei in particular.

Lost in the rivers of my thoughts by Steve Price (BookRix) (3 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

This is my first attempt at writing a book like this but the 4th I have published. This book reflects the things I see, hear and at times just think. Most of all the lyrics written in this and previous books are hardly changed from the original text. I write lyrics very quickly once I have an idea, usually no more than 10 - 15 minutes.

I do not profess to anywhere near their league in fact a million miles ...
